My Patience Has Been Rewarded Greatly

Oh friends, I have to tell you all about my fabulous $3.99 thrifting find from last week!

I have literally been looking for a set like this for years! I've often seen the pieces separately (like this), but never all together (like this or this) in a store & never in such great shape! Actually, the only set I've ever seen complete was at a shindig at a friend's place when I was pregnant!


Isn't it beautiful??


All three pieces, all in perfect condition -- just fabulous!

Why, you ask, did I not just buy this on Etsy since I found it so easily there?
It's the hunt, ladies & gents -- it's just so much more rewarding to find them myself.

(That being said, if I were to find a particularly mouthwatering piece of Pyrex in an online shop, I'd certainly try to scoop it up as my own. Sometimes you know when you've spotted a gem, a one time chance, a superb find! And then, my friends, you've got to pounce!)




I'm so happy to have finally found this bowl set -- so happy I want to cartwheel!

Have you thrifted anything fantastic lately?

Mmm, usually I've seen dip in the small bowl & stuff to dip in the big bowl :)

Oh. That is so very lovely. I've been finding tons of pyrex lately. None of my favorite patterns, but pyrex nonetheless. I can't just leave it behind! I also found a super cute blanket with a faux quilt pattern. Yay, for great finds!

The thrift shops have been a godsend for my centerpieces! I got them all there. And then crafted them into something adorable I'm sure you'll love and have to take one home ^_^

Lovely. Is is weird that reading this made me want chips and dip?

Haha, I think that's a perfectly reasonable desire!
